Apparently there was a small bug in the Tiger Woods ‘08 golf simulation which allowed Tiger Woods to walk on water. Someone using the nick Levinator25 filmed the glitch and posted it to YouTube as the “Jesus Shot.” EA noticed the video and responded with one of their own:
Gotta admit, that’s pretty funny.
What a brilliant marketing move on EA’s part.
That was really rather good actually.
That there just made my day.
Fucking hilarious!! I was wondering when companies were going to start doing shit like this to advertise. It’s brilliant.
Just watch. That bug will eventually end up being the focus of a net rumour/urban legend/conspiracy theory that it was a deliberate attempt to mock Jesus, or evidence that Tiger is the Antichrist, or some other equally silly theory based on weird religious beliefs.
Beats the hell out of Microsofts “We meant that.” or “You’re not doing it right.”
